Mesotherapy is a medical specialty. It involves injecting microscopic quantities of a variety of, natural plant extracts, homeopathic agents, and vitamins into the skin. Mesotherapy may be effectively used to treat cellulite, weight loss, body sculpting, and rejuvenation - anti-aging of the skin.

Mesotherapy reduces excess fat deposits. It also helps to improve lymphatic drainage, blood flow in the circulatory system, and disrupt fibrotic and bands of connective tissue (which give the classic dimpling of cellulite).

Side effects are generally limited to bruising. The bruises usually fade within one week. The majority of patients experience minimal discomfort with mesotherapy. For those with lower pain thresholds, a numbing cream or painkillers can be used.
